What achievements did the Kangxi Emperor achieve in history? Some historians believe that the Qing Dynasty was formally consolidated at the hands of the Kangxi Emperor. Nurhaci established the Houjin regime, which was still part of the northeastern region. When he died, the Later Jin regime was in an embattled situation of internal and external troubles. Emperor Taiji was indeed very capable, and after succeeding to the throne, he adopted a series of policies to alleviate internal contradictions and stabilize the Manchu regime. Unfortunately, he died suddenly at the age of 52, and although the regime was consolidated during his reign, it still belonged to the local government of the Northeast.
The Kangxi Emperor was a very learning emperor, and he was open-minded, and Kangxi was a middle school scholar. Few people know that Kangxi also admired Western learning. He was, in today's parlance, a "polytechnic man." He has presided over the translation of a large number of Western books, architectural design, medicine, human anatomy, etc. Because a lot of Western knowledge was too sensitive to China at that time, it was resisted by many nobles, so it was not published and promoted on a large scale, but kept in the palace for later use, which shows that Kangxi knew how to deal with things in a rigid and soft way. Born into a nomadic ethnic group, Kangxi was proficient in horseback riding and archery from an early age.
He had been studying Confucian books since he was five years old, was proficient in sinology, and was familiar with the way of the saints. Therefore, he himself was originally a man of both strength and thought, both civil and martial, both angel and devil! Kangxi's love for the people. The Kangxi people loved the people very much. Of course, the subjective speculation and beautification of future generations have also played a certain role in fueling the waves. If you want to restore the relatively real Kangxi era, you must start with the records of the Kangxi era. Beginning with the Kangxi Dynasty, Han courtiers enjoyed a greater say in the imperial court, and for a time Han courtiers like Chancellor Zhang Tingyu appeared. However, all of Kangxi's political actions were aimed at maintaining the long-term stability of the Manchus. His reuse of Hanchen was largely for political purposes. It has been said that the relationship between monarchs and their subjects at the end of China's feudal society has changed from the "qingshan pine cypress" of the pre-Qin dynasty to "mutual use".
During the reign of the Kangxi Dynasty, the residences of many courtiers were raided. The reason was verbal punishment, later known as "literal hell." The "literal prison" began in the Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong periods and developed to its peak. "Literal hell" is a political tactic. Ultimately, it was the Manchus' lack of confidence in their rule, which was the reason for consolidating and maintaining Manchu rule. The "literal prison" is almost a white rule, resulting in a large number of people being inadvertently killed. Kangxi's national narrowism became the biggest shortcoming and the biggest stain of his life!
He calmed down three times, and had just established the Qing Dynasty, and Wu Sangui in Yunnan became the biggest trouble. How did Kangxi put Wu Sangui down? It adopts Zhou Peigong's strategy of beating you while pulling you together, and makes a clear commitment. If it is expensive, how much will it gain? If it does not surrender, it will engage in military warfare to win over Wu Sangui's allies. When he achieved economic success in the early Kangxi regime, he fell into chaos three times and used soldiers, which left the national treasury empty. In terms of economic policy, he encouraged and encouraged the reclamation of land, the development of production, and the forgiveness of money and food.
In 1690-1697, he visited Mobei three times, annihilated Geldan, and strengthened the unification of Qinghai-Tibet. At the time of the yellow river, the Yellow River was in Huaiyin, and the area where the Qing River and the canal met was often flooded, and the grain transportation in the capital was often affected. Kangxi spent decades conducting six water patrols in the south, dredging silt and building embankments before bringing the flooded Yellow River back to its original path. From Buku's childhood, to preventing the division of the motherland, working hard, empathizing with the people and vigorously developing the productive forces, Kangxi's achievements are inseparable from his personal talents, diligence, perseverance and peace.
Everyone is talking about Kangxi's achievements and advantages. Let me talk about the Kangxi Emperor from another perspective. Kangxi mainly accomplished the following tasks: First, reform the household registration system and separate household registration from taxation. Second, use political means to get rid of the creative and conspiratorial Oubai and stabilize this power. Sansei quelled three rebellions in San Francisco and Gardan to bring peace and tranquility to the country. Fourth, we must use Yao Qisheng and others to retake Taiwan and realize the peaceful reunification of the country. As a result of the above work, it created the prosperity of Kangxi and Qianlong and became a major event in the history of the Qing Dynasty.
